After reading Chapters 9 and 10, use Finale® music notation software (and an approved template such as Finale’s Grand Staff.ftm), write the following invertible counterpoint: Write a two-voice, four-measure example of fifth-species (florid, combination of species 1 through 4) invertible counterpoint. This example should be invertible at the octave or 15th. This example should be in a major key. In the space between the staves, label each interval. Avoid the use of perfect 4ths and 5ths in the original. In the next four-measure example, invert the counterpoint you wrote in the first example. In the space between the staves, label each interval of the inversion. The intervals of the inverted counterpoint should correspond to the inversions listed on page 122 of Kennan’s Counterpoint. The number of each interval and its inversion add up to 9.
